Re: STRANGER THINGS SPOILERS COMMENCING NOW

the thematic resonances would change a lot

See, I'm not convinced they would need to.

Maybe that's where the disconnect lies here. I think the same themes could be present in either setting, Maybe I'm out to lunch and no one else is really seeing what I'm seeing... but for Stranger Things especially, I could personally think of ways to do it within that narrative layout that wouldn't be dramatically different from the set point.

Plus, I don't know that a subdimension based on magic is all that concretely different from one (supposedly) based on physics. Fuck, imo quantum physics lecture really aren't that god damn far off from reciting some runes and incantations into a microphone in the first place lol.

I don't think I emphasized enough how much I think Lovecraftian horror is still science fiction, basically. And I think most of the ways of changing it that don't affect the themes end up with you in that Lovecraftian territory.

Ohhhh ok. I see what you're getting at now!

Totally valid opinion. I personally think something like Lovecraft could go either way depending on what aspects one chose to emphasize, so there you go lol.

No one's opinion is wrong here, imo. It's just neat to talk about.
